CYSTIC FIBROSIS (CF) is caused by defects in an anion channel called CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) that is found primarily in the apical membranes of epithelial cells. Most CF symptoms, such as high salt in sweat and obstruction of the pancreatic ducts, intestine, or vas deferens occur because of defective electrolyte transport. In most organs, the link between pathophysiology and loss of CFTR-mediated anion conductance is relatively easy to explain as obstruction following the loss of CFTR-mediated fluid secretion. This is not the situation in the airways, where the major symptom is chronic airway infection. These infections provoke massive neutrophilic inflammation that relentlessly destroys the lungs. Because chronic lung infection is by far the major cause of death in CF patients, it is essential to understand precisely how the loss of CFTR compromises the innate defenses of the airways. A growing consensus holds that the old idea of defective airway mucus (8) is correct, but crucially, because of work by many researchers in the early 1980s, the hypothesis has shifted away from searching for defective mucin molecules and is focused instead on the effects of altered fluid and electrolyte transport by airway surface epithelia and glands (26). Electrolyte transport is seen as essential to the innate defense system of the airways, which has at least two components. Defects in the physical removal of pathogens from the airways by mucociliary and cough clearance play a large role (15). In addition, the early onset and severity of CF airway disease, in contrast with the milder courses of other diseases that reduce airway clearance, suggest that the loss of CFTR function in the airways also compromises the effectiveness of the vast array of innate defense molecules found in the airways, from mucins to a host of antimicrobials, anti-proteases, and anti-inflammatory compounds (9, 23, 26).Most innate defense molecules are secreted by submucosal glands. Glands are important for airway health, and CFTR is important for proper submucosal gland function (1–3, 5, 7, 10, 13, 14, 24–27). For example, comparison of tracheal xenografts with and without glands revealed much higher levels of lysozyme and greater resistance to infection in the glandcontaining grafts (5, 25), whereas measures of secretion from individual human airway glands showed that, in marked contrast to normal glands, CF glands do not secrete to VIP or forskolin (14). In contrast with this absolute defect, gland secretion to acetylcholine persists in CF glands, but appeared to be diminished in quantity and to have increased viscosity, but no other changes in ions or pH (22). These findings, and other work indicating equivalent pH of gland mucus stimulated either by forskolin or carbachol, are at odds with a model of gland function based on the Calu-3 cell
